Arc
You can draw an arc by one of eight different methods using the following functions of the "arc" submenu:
- 3 points on arc - draws a 3-point arc. The first and second points are the arc's endpoints and the third is any point on the arc;
- begin, center, incl.angle - draws an arc by specified start point, center point and included angle;
- begin, center, chord - draws an arc by specified start point, center point and length of chord;
- begin, end, center - draws an arc by specified start, end and center points;
- begin, end, radius - draws an arc by specified start and end points and length of radius;
- begin, end, incl.angle - draws an arc by specified start and end points and included angle;
- begin, end, tangent - draws an arc by specified start and end points and starting direction;
- continue line - draws an arc as a smooth continuation of an existing line or arc (polyline arc).
Three point arcs
The "3 points on arc" function draws a 3-point arc. The first and second points are the arc's endpoints and the third is any point on the arc.
PROMPTS:
- Arc start point
- Arc end point
- Any point on the arc
"The three points are co-linear"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Begin, center, included angle
The "beg,cen,inc angl" function draws an arc by specified start point, center point and included angle.
PROMPTS:
- Arc start point
- Arc center
- Included angle
"The arc is not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Begin, end, center
The "beg,end,center" function draws an arc by specified start, end and center points.
PROMPTS:
- Arc start point
- Arc center
- Point on the second shoulder
"The arc is not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Begin, end, included angle
The "beg,end,inc angl" function draws an arc by specified start and end points and included angle.
PROMPTS:
- Arc start point
- Arc end point
- Included angle
"The arc is not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Begin, center, length of chord
The "beg,cen,chord" function draws an arc by specified start point, center point and length of chord.
PROMPTS:
- Arc center
- Arc start point
- chord length
"The arc is not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Begin, end, tangent
The "beg,end,tangent" function draws an arc by specified start and end points and starting direction.
PROMPTS:
- Arc start point
- Select point for tangent
- Arc end point
"The arc is not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
Line/arc continuation
The "continue line" function draws an arc as a smooth continuation of an existing line or arc (polyline arc).
PROMPTS:
- Select object
- Arc end point
"Arc not defined"
PARAMETERS available via the "params" function of the control menu:
"linetype, color, level of detail"
